[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 18357, member: 1550"] Be careful as my son was misdiagnosed with bipolar when he actually is on the Spectrum. It's not uncommon. My son has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and I disagree that a psychiatrist would be much help. I doubt most kids on the Spectrum would understand therapy, they are SO literal and they are different and have strange reactions to things (and, yes, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) behavior is part of the spectrum) as is ADHD behaviors, BUT there are no medications for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)'s. My son got worse on them and now he's medication free and actually a very calm, laid back child. No, he didn't start out that way, but Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is one of those rare disorders where the children tend to get better, not worse, especially with school interventions. My son no longer exhibits any ADHD behaviors. He is still very literal. He can get very upset over things that seem silly to "typical" kids. If we take a new route to his school, for example, he will get all upset and say, "You're supposed to go that way, not this way!" I'd wonder about the medications making him even more Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)/anxiety-laden. My son got mean and aggressive on all stims, and he's NOT like that. On antidepressants he kept jumping off his desk, insisting he could fly...lol.
